Note:Make sure to check the crop winners I posted this morning, y'all!
This weekend,as I mentioned,it was just me and the babies.It was seriously weird. And quiet. But really fun. We blew LOTS of bubbles. And danced,and snuggled,and sang The Itsy Bitsy Spider 23428340283 times. And blew more bubbles.
I don't think they knew what to do with themselves. I'm not sure if they wondered where the big girls were, or if they just LOVED having me all to themselves!
I decided it was time to get out my "real camera" and document how cute they are right now. Their facial expressions slay me.I mean really...the eyebrows. The mouths...I die.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the weekend. Lucy is in the left in all of the table shots,and Cate is on the right.
In the outside shots,Lucy is in the yellow and Cate is in the pink.
xoxo
The shot of them in the little onesies, taken from the back with the little pudgy legs....so so so cute!!!! Makes me long for the days when mine were that size. They will both be off to college in ten days (sniff). Enjoy them ~ although I can see that you do!

Posted by: Kimber-Leigh | 08/21/2012 at 03:09 PM
OMG that pic of them running down the driveway!! LOVE it!! And I have to laugh because my twins ate waffles every single morning for seriously like 2 years straight.
Posted by: Kami Pfingsten | 08/21/2012 at 03:28 PM
Depending on their expressions, I see a strong resemblance to Sadie.
Posted by: Jan | 08/21/2012 at 03:40 PM
So sweet! Love those chubby little legs!
Posted by: ginny | 08/21/2012 at 03:41 PM

Posted by: Elise | 08/21/2012 at 04:51 PM
So adorable! I seem to see a lot of Sadie in Lucy, especially in the profile of Lucy in the first pic of them at the table.
Posted by: clippergirl | 08/21/2012 at 04:55 PM
Absolutely adorable! They must have loved this special time with mom.
Posted by: Kristen S | 08/21/2012 at 05:31 PM
Cate sitting in the doorway ... what an expression! LOL
Will Sadie be starting school this year, leaving you alone with these little ones?
In my Canadian province, children attend all-day Junior Kindergarten at age 4 (or 3 if they turn 4 before December 31).

she will be in 5 day 1/2 day preschool,yes! she would LOVE full day, but its too much $$$$ here. :(
Posted by: Stephanie Howell | 08/21/2012 at 06:21 PM
The girls are so full of personality. So love to see that you all have settled in to your new home so well. Enjoy Rhode Island and enjoy your girls. My babies Haly (14) and Lily (11) go back to school tomorrow, H (Freshman) and L (Middle School). So glad I am a memory keeper otherwise I would not have any documentation of the season of my life that you are in right now. Savor it all, each and every moment, the good, the bad and the ugly. It it all beautiful and your girls are so lucky that their Mom is a memory keeper too.

That's all!

I am off to watch my little girl sleep, she is 4 soon, and it feels like yesterday she was the twins age. She still has the chubby legs and I love to kiss them! Ellie has been a difficult little bubba and sometimes the guilt I feel for being upset and frustrated by her is so overwhelming. I'm trying so hard to appreciate all the good things, thanks for helping me with that xx
Posted by: Emma Petrie | 08/22/2012 at 05:15 AM
These two are just too cute for words. Good grief. The strawberry legs! The kissing! The hai-er doooos! (Said with my pretend Southern drawl ;) LOVE! Yes ... how DO you get anything done?!
Posted by: Gayle W. | 08/22/2012 at 05:26 AM
dont feel guilty. we ALL get frustrated and fed up with our kids. luckily,its an opportunity to teach them grace and how to say im sorry when we lose our tempers.xoxo
Posted by: Stephanie Howell | 08/22/2012 at 06:18 AM
NOTHING cuter!! You just made my morning! I can see why you are so smitten with them! ;) xo
Posted by: Jen Kinkade | 08/22/2012 at 06:35 AM
These are adorable. I can't believe how much hair they have. Mine were bald until they were 3. Glad you had some special time.
Posted by: Linda | 08/22/2012 at 08:01 AM
They are seriously precious!! What treasures.
Posted by: Linnea | 08/22/2012 at 08:35 AM

Posted by: laurielariviere | 08/22/2012 at 09:56 AM
WOW!!!!!!!!! How CUTE are they!
I hope you had a wonderful time together.
Posted by: scrapperjen1 | 08/22/2012 at 10:34 AM
Pure gorgeous-ness! So adorable and sweet. I think the girls are getting to be even more similar. I used to be able to tell them apart easily but not as much now - it depends on the photo.
I'd love to meet you all in real life but as we live in Scotland that's not going to happen! I really do enjoy all of your posts immensely. No such thing as too many baby photos - just sayin! :) Is it too stalkerish to ask if you could post a video clip of them?
Blessings from the Shetland Isles in Scotland.
